St. Petersburg Yacht Charter
Itinerary | Cruising Conditions | Travel Notes | Base Guide
Overview
Florida’s Gulf Coast is known for its glorious beaches and an average of 361 days of sunshine per year. From St. Petersburg Beach down to the Florida Keys, sunset is nature’s show-stopping finale to the end of every day on the water around here. A wealth of great seafood restaurants, beach bars and marinas to choose from make for the most relaxing vacation in these southern parts of the continental U.S.A. For the fishing enthusiasts, the Gulf and Intercoastal waterways are teeming with different species of fish, like tarpon, grouper, and redfish, all year round. Shell seekers will delight on the beaches of Captiva and Sanibel Island, and dolphin spotters won’t be disappointed either. The calm waters of the Gulf of Mexico are ideal for kayaking or stand-up paddleboarding as you cruise from one laid-back destination to the next. Charming downtown St. Petersburg has a variety of grocery and liquor stores, specialty boutiques, and stores, making it easy to pick up everything you may need to prepare for the vacation of a lifetime.
